After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 150 Burning incense rises where gods pass

The gold ingot given to her by Zhang solved her urgent need at that time.

Tu Hua put down her pen, put her hands behind her back, and turned her head to look at them. The system silently adjusted the sound clarity for her, so that she could hear clearly even from a small distance.

After Mrs. Zhang mentioned it, Mrs. Zhou also remembered the ingot she had last time and smiled unconsciously.

"Just remembering this now?"

"That's not the case." Ms. Zhang waved her hand gently, "It's just that the smelly things are sandwiched among everyone's good things and cannot be put on the table."

"It's not a matter of etiquette but affection, it won't happen."

"Ah."

Tu Hua peeled off another piece of spicy beef and looked at Mrs. Zhang.

From the time she came into contact with the Xie family, the second lady, who acted smart and spoke casually, had become quite popular with her.

Among all the things she offered, the things she gave were very practical. As she said before, yellow and white things might be tacky, but Zhang didn't know that this tackiness was just right for her at that time.

Although, because of that gold ingot, it caused a little trouble later.

But that is her own problem and has nothing to do with Yuan Bao.

She secretly looked at Zhang's expression and found that while she was smiling generously and indifferently, there was occasionally a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.

Tu Hua pondered for a while.

I spent some energy points and bought some small functions.

Raise your hand and gently send out a ray of breeze...

Mrs. Zhang was lowering her clothes, and a gust of breeze passed by her left cheek, like water, with a wisp of sandalwood in the breeze!
Where did the burning aroma come from?
Zhang thought she had smelled it wrong, raised her head blankly, and secretly took a deep breath.

Seeing her strange expression, Mrs. Zhou put down her work and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Did you smell anything?" Ms. Zhang looked at a few people.

After hearing this, everyone put down their work and took a few breaths of the air, but they did not smell the aroma that Zhang mentioned.

"Second Aunt, what kind of fragrance is it?" Ruan asked curiously.

"It's the kind of aroma that's usually used when offering incense in ancestral temples!"

Several people looked at each other in shock when they heard what she said.

"The aroma from the ancestral hall?"

The women looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly no one was speechless.

Tu Hua hugged her knees and held her chin up to look at them. They suddenly fell silent and only exchanged glances in the quiet air.

Tu Hua couldn't help but lower her head and raise the corners of her lips. Without Xie Yuchuan's ability to communicate with the gods as a bridge in the middle, she really couldn't communicate directly with other members of the Xie family.

However, after the upgrade, Tuhua also has more ways to play.

Especially since she just got something interesting today. Maybe, before taking Xie Yuchuan on an adventure, she can try it out on other members of the Xie family.

After an unknown length of silence, a soft voice sounded.

"Why is there burning incense?"

Everyone blinked and nodded in unison.

Yes, why is there burning incense?
Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhang, "We didn't smell it. Did we smell it wrong?"

Mrs. Zhang thought she had smelled it wrong, so she took another deep breath of the cool night air, but the burning incense was still there!
"Yes, I often accompany my mother to the temple to burn incense. How could I smell it wrong?"

Zhang was sure she smelled sandalwood.

"Could it be...?"

Thinking of some possibility, Mrs. Zhou suddenly stared at her younger brother and sister-in-law Ms. Zhang with wide eyes.

Zhang's expression turned serious: "!"

A possible "answer" appeared in the minds of the Xie family members at the same time.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her eldest sister-in-law in disbelief.

Mrs. Zhou gently grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't be nervous." Ms. Zhang nodded heavily, but her expression was inevitably tense.

I deeply regret it.

When her mother was in the world, she always said that her outspoken temperament would lead to bad things. She never cared about how to change her natural temperament.

Now Zhang regretted it. She shouldn't have spent the whole night talking about offerings, let alone talking about gods behind their backs.

There was a trace of regret in Zhang's eyes, and Zhou shook his head at her reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay. You see, Yuchuan has offended her since she was a child, and even the family god doesn't blame her when she grows up."

These words calmed the panicked Mrs. Zhang very well.

Tu Hua felt slightly apologetic. She didn't mean to scare the Xie family members, but...it seemed like her method was a bit reckless.

She was thinking about how to remedy the situation. Showing a little miracle was okay, but scaring people was bad.

Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses after Mrs. Zhou's reminder, and half of the tension in her body relaxed.

Yup!

The child Liulang had almost offended the ancestors and family gods in his family's temple since he was a child, but the Xie family gods did not abandon him because of this. In the most critical moment, the family gods also appeared to protect them.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law, did I just...did I say something wrong?"

Is that why you summoned the family god?
Her mind is a little confused now.

Zhou asked: "No, we were just talking about making offerings."

"Is that because the gold and silver I offered was inappropriate?"

"That's even worse. If the family god didn't like it, he would have told Yuchuan last time."

"Too."

Zhou has dealt with too many difficult things, but she has never dealt with things like her younger brother and sister Zhang.

She held Mrs. Zhang's hand, stood up and looked up at the place where Xie Yuchuan was resting, "Why don't you let Yuchuan get up and ask?"

"Farewell, he has been tired for the past two days. Don't wake him up and let him have a good rest."

"then you……"

"I'm fine, our family god won't harm me." Mrs. Zhang said confidently, silently apologizing to the family god in her heart.

She really shouldn't talk about the gods' preferences behind their backs.

Tu Hua couldn't hear her inner voice, but she could also see Zhang's expression gradually relaxing.

The third lady and Mrs. Ruan looked at Mrs. Zhou and then at Mrs. Zhang.

On the other side, Xie Zhen and Xie Wuying were re-taking stock of their food. When they turned around, they saw the silent and strange expressions of the elders on their mother's side.

"There seems to be something going on over there. I'll leave it to you and I'll go there."

"Second sister, you are busy." Xie Wuying said.

When Xie Zhen came back, he went to sit down next to his mother Shen and sister-in-law Ruan, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? I saw you next door and you were silent."

Mrs. Shen did not answer her, but Mrs. Ruan raised her eyes mysteriously and asked her: "Sister Zhen, can you smell anything?"

As soon as she spoke, she attracted the eyes of Zhou and Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang, in particular, stared at her with burning eyes.

Xie Zhen straightened up after being looked at by the big eyes. His beautiful eyes swept across everyone's faces. He took a deep breath obediently, and then exhaled slowly and nervously under the scorching eyes...

What is the taste?
No!
Looking at the blank expression on Xie Zhen's face, Zhang knew that she didn't smell the sandalwood either, and sighed with disappointment.

Xie Zhen:?
Can anyone explain to her what's going on? !
It was her sister-in-law Ruan who explained to her: "Second Aunt seemed to have smelled burning incense just now."

"Ah?" Xie Zhen was stunned, "What kind of incense?"

"It's the kind of aroma that comes from offering incense."

Xie Zhen:! ! !
"The house god is here?"

Several people raised their heads and stared at her in unison. The words that no one dared to say were just spoken by Xie Zhen.
